Know Your Sewing Machine

Instructor User:Malissa Long

First 2 hours (or quick version) learn the parts of your sewing machine along with knowledge about bobbins, needles, about decorative stitches, and a little sewing machine history. Second 2 hours use what you learn to make a cute simple bag with seams and a pair of handles. You will need tools to take out your needle, extra bobbins, and white thread. No previous machine knowledge required. Use one of the classroom machines or bring your own.
